0:45Ben Meiselas:State regime media known as Fox is just completely collapsing live on air. They're getting high off their own supply of vicious propaganda, so much so that on the morning show, Brian Kilmeade, one of the main Fox hosts, advocated for just engaging in involuntary lethal injection or something like that. just kill them all he says regarding homeless people or people who may suffer from mental illness he says just kill them all here play this clip billions of dollars to mental health and the homeless population a lot of them don't want to take the programs a lot of them don't want to get the help that is necessary you can't give them a choice either you take the resources that we're going to give you and or you decide that you're going to be locked up in jail.

1:41That's the way it has to be now. Or involuntary lethal injection or something. Just kill him. Brian, why did it have to get to this point? Right. I would say this.

1:48Ben Meiselas:We're not voting for the right people in North Carolina. Wake up. Now, I went back and I tried to watch it and say, you know, was I taking this out of context in any way? Could he really have said it? Did he say those words? He did. And then And he's continued to say those words over and over again this weekend. Again, you have Brian Kilmeade blaming the political assassination of Melissa Hortman, the former Speaker of the House in Minnesota. She was killed by a radical right Trumper with a political agenda against her as a Democrat. That's what happened. It is an undisputed fact. This is not a situation where it was in the Charlie Kirk case, a 22-year-old white kid of ambiguous background, but whose family was a Trump supporter.

2:42Ben Meiselas:There's a big distinction there. So here, Brian Kilmeade says the Minnesota legislator was killed because they didn't like what Tim Walls was doing or a former staffer of Tim Walls. So he's just blaming Democrats again here. That's what you're doing. The same thing that Fox was trying to push as it relates to Charlie Kirk also. And that narrative was this. All they do is just freaking lie over and over again. Here's kill me. Play this clip. And then June 14th, these Minnesota legislatures were knocked out, were killed with something to do with what's going on locally. They didn't like what Tim Waltz was doing or a former staffer of Tim Waltz.

3:24Regardless, it's arranged actions,

3:26Ben Meiselas:life and death. And then you have Kilmeade over here saying that it's pretty obvious that Charlie Kirk's killer was not a Trump guy because if you're not for Charlie Kirk, you're not for Donald Trump. Here, play this clip. No, his grandparents said we're a Trump household. He was unaffiliated and it was pretty clear that he was not for Trump because if you're not for Charlie Kirk, you're not for Trump. And by the way, it kept on going. They said, you know, those Democrats, they refused to allow a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk. They refused a moment of silence in the House of Representatives.

4:07Ben Meiselas:Here, play this clip. Yeah, they wouldn't even exactly. That's a perfect example of their fake compassion. They wouldn't even allow a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk on the House floor. They said no to that. And so I'm just unimpressed. They did do a moment of silence. Okay. You had MAGA Republican, MAGA Mike Johnson called for a moment of silence. Then everybody was silent for the requisite period of time. I'm only going to show you 18 seconds because I don't want to show more, but then I'll tell you what happened. Here, play this clip. The chair would ask that all members present in the chamber and those in the gallery please rise for a moment of prayer for Charlie Kirk and his family.

5:03Ben Meiselas:Okay so clearly there was a moment of silence. What happened after was MAGA Republican Lauren Boebert says let's do it again, she says. And now let's do a prayer session for Charlie Kirk. Let's do a prayer session, everybody. And the Democrats are like, we're not doing a prayer session. We just did a moment of silence. Let's get on with the business of the house. Like, what are we doing here? Another separate prayer. If you want to do a prayer session, do a prayer session separately. But then the MAGA Republicans are like, we should have done a prayer session. What the hell is even going on here.

5:39Ben Meiselas:And then they continue on. And what are the MAGA Republicans do now on? What does the Fox propagandists do? Blame Obama. Yeah. There's they go. There's no real remorse on the left. They are complicit because they're not showing the right amount of remorse. Where's Barack Obama? Where where's Obama? Let's blame Obama. That's a goodie and an oldie. Let's just blame Obama. Let's blame Obama. What are you talking about? Here, play this clip. There's been no real remorse on the left. I mean, it's been so tepid. They're so obviously implicit, complicit in the language that you use, I mean, just that video alone.

6:23But has anybody seen anyone come out in a very forceful and meaningful way to say, knock it off on the left? No. Yeah, I think there's two couple of things. I try to watch other things as much as possible, especially I get up and the primetime repeats and we're preparing for this show. CNN, I think, has been really good. They've been really good, been really fair. MSNBC is so bad, their own executives are writing a memo to basically say, knock it off and show some respect. And I saw ABC, actually. But where are the leaders? Where's Barack Obama? Very tepid response. Bernie Sanders actually had the best response.

7:03I think Fetterman had a good tweet, too. I mean, there are a couple. surprising. Yeah, there are a couple. How about instead of a tweet? How about a big old speech? Yep. How about idea? And how about some action? How about some action?

7:16Ben Meiselas:And by the way, Obama immediately condemned political violence, violence in all its manifestations. Here's what Obama said. We don't yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk. But this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle Al and I will be praying for Charlie's family tonight, especially his wife, Erica, and their two young children. That was viewed 103 million times, by the way, very different than when Donald Trump was asked about it. When Donald Trump was asked about Charlie Kirk, you know what Donald Trump talked about? He said, well, everybody knows about the big ballroom.

7:59Ben Meiselas:Everybody knows about the big ballroom. Here's what Trump said. Play this clip. He was very hurt when he saw this. But, I mean, everybody was. Oh, when I heard it, I was in the midst of, you know, building a great... For 150 years, they've wanted a ballroom at the White House, right? They don't have a ballroom. They have to use tents on the lawn for President Xi when he comes over. If it rains, it's a wipeout. And so I was with the architects and with design. It's going to be incredible. And they came in. They said, Charlie Kirk is dead. I didn't know what they meant. I said, what do you mean, dead?

8:36Charlie Kirk was shot. And they thought he was dead because it was so horrific, you know. And I said, dead?

8:46Ben Meiselas:And by the way, just so you know, it's not a fluke. Here Trump is talking about the ballroom again when he's asked about Charlie Kirk. Here play this clip. Condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. May I ask, sir, personally, how are you holding up over the last day and a half, sir? I think very good. And by the way, right there, you see all the trucks. They've just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House. And again, what the undisputed fact is, is that there was a 22-year-old white male in Utah from a Trump-supporting Republican family. They had close affiliations with the church in Utah.

9:26Ben Meiselas:It was a gun-toting family. That's what the mom amber would post over and over again were a gun-toting family that's who they were he actually fit the profile of a lot of these school shooters that we see these young white men oftentimes republican radicalized who go down this rabbit hole but whether he's rightist or leftist or this or that the bottom line is that he got radicalized as this accelerator revolutionary wannabe type And this is what we've seen over and over again in these situations. It's the Democrats' fault. They did this. They don't know what they've unleashed. No, what you're unleashing, Fox, is division in our country and trying to cause an irreparable harm or like a civil war.

10:16Ben Meiselas:That's what you're trying to do with this rhetoric. Time for some life talk, life insurance talk, that is. You probably have it, but do you know how much you're paying for it and how much are you being covered? Odds are you pay too much for too little.

12:07Ben Meiselas:And then they go on and they said, you know, and now you hear this is one of the right wing talking points too. There's a few talking points. One of them is, is they go, they go, the guy, the guy, the guy, the shooter's roommate was trans and maybe they had a relationship. And so the, the trans ideology, what, what are you talking, what is it, what are you talking about? And then the other one is that they go is he went to one, you know, he went to university back in 2021. He went to Utah State University for one semester that radicalized him. He spent the past few years in an electrical apprenticeship program at Utah's Dixie Technical College.

12:48Ben Meiselas:As Max Steele goes, a hotbed for leftist militancy. I know. Here's what they say. Here play this clip. It is a good point. I want to point something else out. You heard the family members say that this man became more political. This young man became more political in recent years. Well, what did he do in recent years? He went to college. that's where kids are getting radicalized. It's not just online. Our campuses are where a lot of radicalization, hate and intolerance starts from. And so when he says it's an attack on all of us, I'm gonna say this. No, it's an attack on conservatives. It's an attack on Christians.

13:29Ben Meiselas:And then you have Jesse Waters basically out there like basically saying enough is enough. We have to end these people. The language that he uses is so extreme. And this is what they're platforming on Fox. You know, I showed you the first clip where they're talking about like involuntary death squads and injections and killing people. And you have Jesse Waters then saying the following here, play this clip. And so our response has to be we have to do what Charlie would have wanted to do. We have to win. We have to win at the ballot box. We have to win at the marketplace. We have to win online at the universities.

14:10We have to politically destroy the sick movement that's giving birth to these killers. And I don't care what you have to do. We can love them, but we don't give them any quarter. Enough is enough. This ends now. And there is a wicked strain that's bubbling up. And you see it all over the place. And we know who we're talking about. And it's permeated the media, the culture, and even Congress. and it has to be cordoned off and eliminated. We've done this with other factions in our political past. We've did it with communism, with racism. It's been done before, anarchism.

14:51Ben Meiselas:Then you have Laura Ingraham also spreading these vicious, vicious lies. Here, play this clip. This agony we're all feeling must not dissipate into a stubborn apathy or morph into a violent rage. But we do need to embrace the truth at the same time that the left has a lot to answer for at this moment. We've been warning for years that their rhetoric would lead us to a very dark place. Then you have Stephen Miller over here talking about, oh, it's the universities. The universities are the hotbed. Dude, you went to Duke. You went to Duke. These are all the all these people are so phony. You grew up in Santa Monica through a wealthy family and you went to Duke.

15:40Ben Meiselas:Here, play this clip. Our universities, in many cases, have become incubators for extremism. They become the equivalent of of madrasas for jihadism. And just so you see, they're trying to like one up each other. Megyn Kelly, who used to be on Fox, who now makes her livelihood as a right wing pro Trump podcaster, despite Trump attacking her and saying that she's got blood coming out of your you know what during a debate in front of all of America. But she's a big Trumper now. And then she goes, you know, the real issue here, Obama, the division in our country is caused by Obama. And yeah, the way he tried to subtly inject race into everything.

16:27Ben Meiselas:Are you just saying that he's a black man? Is that what you want to say? It's ridiculous. And the racism is so obvious, in my opinion. Here, play this clip. We don't feel like ourselves. We haven't felt like ourselves in a while. And I'm sorry to get political, but I'm just going to be honest. We haven't felt like ourselves since Barack Obama. I just think he was such a slick snake. Like, you know, he was this affable guy who was like wearing good suits and looked the part and sounded the part and dressed the part, but was so divisive in his messaging. The left, they look at you like when you say this, they don't know what you're talking about.

17:08It's like because you don't pay attention to the other half of the country. You only pay attention to your absurd news sources, which spin and spin and spin to protect Democrats, especially if they're named Obama. he he's the one who started to inject race where no one had been doing it he's the one who started to use his pen in the phone to shove things down our throat that we didn't want he's the one who shoved through an entitlement on our health care and our personal doctor visits that he promised he wouldn't mess with and then he did really hurting people causing massive anger and open lies he never missed an opportunity to twist the knife on the racial issue he would do it subtly and in his own way, but it was very clear what he was doing.

17:48He never, for the first time, we had a president who weighed in on legal cases before they'd played out. We never did that. That was a taboo that had never been crossed before him. And Donald Trump was the reason Barack Obama, reverse that, Barack Obama was the reason Donald Trump came about, that he was born as a political figure. They say Trump's divisive. He was the antidote. He was the answer to the divisiveness of Barack Obama. And we just haven't felt like ourselves for years now.

18:22Ben Meiselas:And meanwhile, you have Donald Trump out there consistently calling Kamala Harris a fascist and Donald Trump, you know, talking about getting rid of the vermin and exterminating the enemy from within you want to know where it's coming from it's coming directly from the oval office and the and these hateful rhetoric from maga republicans all i know is you want to talk about like the left liberal we think about the leadership and what most people are saying at a leadership level is we need to condemn political violence we need to come together the one of the issues though is you know with when they go low we go high when they go low they knock out your knees, these MAGA people, whether it's a wildfire that takes place in my hometown in Los Angeles, where while the fire was burning, it just lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.

19:18Ben Meiselas:Everything that former President Biden, no matter what the issue was, they would come up with, you know, whatever their conspiracy there is. Remember, they would just invent like terrorist attacks in Buffalo. Do you remember that when Biden was in office? Biden let the terrorist attack happened in Buffalo. It was like a guy coming back from a casino who was like drunk or something, who crashed his car. No matter what it is, they would spread these vicious lies. Anyway, you saw what Trump said. Anyway, let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million and thank you for watching.
